Appikon ‑ Back In Stock

Sept. 9, 2024

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE - DO NOT RECOMMEND. This app malfunctions constantly. During two key product launches for my ecom site, this app malfunctioned, negatively impacted on my launch and causeING myself and my team immense stress. On launch night 1, the automated "notification" button stopped working, when we added products for the launch into stock. So at launch time, the wait list that we had built up and promoted for weeks to be notified and launch and get early access, was not notified. After trying to figure this out for 30 mins, I eventually had to give up and manually export the wait list data to separate SMS and EDM platforms and contact these wait list people individually myself. Because of this, I lost faith in keeping the "automate notifications" button ticked on the app, so I turned it off, prepared to manually play out the same process for future launches. Come to launch 2, this time, the app would not allow me to export ANY data. The "export CSV" function was not working. So not only could I not automatically notify the wait list, I now also couldn't manually notify the wait list. Both times, customer service told me they would "pass this on to the developer" as priority, I got no timeline, no urgency, and never any response or resolution. Thank god I didn't wait around for their help team to fix the problems on these launch nights - because they never did. I had to download a Google chrome plug in and manually scrape MY data off the app. Terrible functionality. Terrible service. Unreliable. Incredibly frustrating for businesses who rely on wait lists and spend a lot of time and money into building this lists, only for this app to ruin your entire marketing and launch strategy, not once, but twice. I have now deleted the app as my business and livelihood rely on a wait list strategy.

Cette application pratique des méthodes mensongères et abusives ! Nulle part, il n'est mentionné le coût des SMS, et vous n'avez aucune possibilité de désactiver leur envoi. Vous vous retrouverez avec des factures mensuelles comportant des frais d'utilisation à des montants totalement variables ! Nous avons été débités de plus de 700$ hier soir et ils sont incapables de fournir une explication. Ils vous font croire que vous avez un quota de SMS gratuits, mais ce n'est pas le cas ! De plus, nous ne sommes pas les seuls : de nombreux clients se plaignent, et beaucoup ne font probablement pas attention à leur facture, car ces frais sont débités séparément de l'abonnement. Ne téléchargez pas cette application. Ne mérite aucune étoile !

Customer Service doesn't do anything at all - The app says emails were sent out, but absolutely nothing was delivered to my customers. Literally look elsewhere for back-in-stock notifications - if anything goes wrong, it won't get fixed.

Their app glitches ALL THE TIME! Notifications do NOT go out automatically or when you manually push them. Their customer service is horrible! They don't help at all. They drag open tickets on and on for weeks with no solutions to the problems with their app. Do NOT recommend using this app at all. Unfortunately they now have a bank of restock notifications for our store that we will lose if we delete the app so they know they have us trapped and there is nothing we can do to save these notification. 0 STARS!

This app worked well for a couple of years for us, but it stopped working right before we had a big product launch and cost us a lot of sales. I tried to upgrade our subscription since we had collected a large number of out of stock notifications and kept getting a "server error message". And just like you'll see in the other 1 star reviews, when it stops working good luck getting any help from the company. Spend a little time and money finding a better solution to getting people to sign up for out of stock notifications and I wish I had paid more attention to the bad reviews from established companies. This app is a gamble that could cost you a lot of money when you need it the most.

The app is good when it works, it's been over a month and my issue is still not fixed after been assured it was going to be fixed. The communication from this company is woeful, I have to constantly chase them up and still no update. Look at other 1 star reviews to see similar issues. Off to Shopify to put in a complaint.

App started sending out back in stock alerts randomly, and whenever I would edit a product range, all items even ones not available would trigger. I brought this up with support and at first the agent (Zia) had the nerve to say that I had done something wrong, then when I corrected him I didnt get a reponse for 4 days. When I followed up again and was put back through to Zia from another agent I was told it was in the dev pipeline (like I was somehow just supposed to know this) when I asked for at eta he went radio silent again. I am not going to pay 30usd a month for this glitchy app and terrible customer service. peace.

WORST customer service ever. Waiting for a simple answer for weeks. Always sending message to get as feedback they while come back to me whitin the next 24 or 48 hours. There is no problem to not be able to answer a question/fix a feature but just say it, it will avoid everyone to loose time.

Completely agree with the 1 star review below. The app was good until an issue occurred - it wasn't sending out the restock SMS notifications to our customers, which is causing a big loss in sales for us. We've tried to reach out to support twice, 1 guy literally just stopped replying, so we reached out to another guy but he also doesn't seem helpful. Until now we're still unable to send the SMS notifications, and it seems no one is going to fix this issue.

This app worked for a while but recently stopped working. Our texts do NOT get sent during restocks. Customer support chat says that it will be about less than 3 minutes to get a response. Hours go by then they will message you in the middle of the night and not resolve the issue. This is the second business day I have requested help and still have not gotten help. Multiple times now they have read my message and just not answered. It’s unbelievable how horrible the customer service is. It’s gone downhill lately so the older positive reviews I would have agreed with at the time but now, don’t waste your time. It will really impact your business when you plan restock dates and times for customers to get orders and then they just don’t help you for multiple days.

The App worked wonderfully for a few months and then would send Back in Stock notifications for items that were out of stock/ have not been updated at random. I brought this to the customer service team and was unable to get a resolution. I sent examples of my stock history reports and compared them the the notification history dates, proving the item's inventory had not been updated. I was told this was impossible and proceeded to tell me it was my fault. I was very willing to work with the team and was given no response after 2 follow ups.

The domain verification does not work. I've confirmed with Shopify that everything has been set up properly (they confirmed) and the app developer keeps telling me that I did it wrong (or something along those lines). Basically 1 day to get a response from them, and the response is usually pointless and reiterating the situation.

EDIT: 2022: App stopped sending emails. No response from developers. Changing to another app. PREVIOUS REVIEW 2021: This app is awesome and the support is even better! Installed the app and it worked instantly. I reached out to the support asking how I customise the appearance and they did it all of me in under 5 mins. Incredible!

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY, NEVER ANSWER. AND IT'S NOW BROKEN. NO ONE helps or responds. we were given the runaround non stop. still am. we're really unhappy with, look elsewhere. Trust me. The reviews below are fake by the way. I would be asking for a refund if you app actually worked, which is doesnt. all positive reviews below have to be fake...

FIRST REVIEW: Okayyyyy blown away by this app! Personalized support in the middle of the night, custom coding things for me. this app is awesome and with the best customer support! It's going to bring a lot of extra revenue in from lost out of stock sales too. Really excited about it! Way prettier and better easier to use interface than the competitors (I download several similar apps and this one seems way better than the others) UPDATED REVIEW: after initial setup, customer service has actually been horrible. the emails are not sending to customers and they keep saying that the development team will look into it, but never getting back to me. I check in every single week about it and never get a response. Week after week they tell me "the development team hasn't gotten back to us yet, I'll let you know when they do" And yet I'm still being charged every month for a service that is not working. Not a single email is being sent out. I was really hopeful about this but losing hope that it's something that can even work.

I tried this app for 30 days. I did not get one sale from any back in stock emails that were sent. I repeatedly found inconsistencies in the dashboard and the reports of emails sent. When I tested it myself, sometimes I would get the back in stock email, sometimes not. Every time I brought these issues to the support staff, their standard answer was "our app is doing what it's supposed to do". That being said, I got $0 sales using this app. I will try another back in stock app.

DO NOT USE. This application is open to abuse and can result in anyone spamming the API to falsely register notifications that would cause incorrect requests, wrong products to be ordered based on demand, and push subscribers to higher levels of subscription unnecessarily. SHOPIFY YOU NEED TO REMOVE THIS. No authentication is required to post a request to the API. Even worse, GET is used instead of POST and there is no checks in the payload.

Customer support is terrible. Billing statements don't make any sense. The app charges monthly fees + useage fees - the usage fees are associated with the SMS messaging. Fees fluctuate every month and you can even cost double the amount of the monthly fee. App will not stop charging for SMS messages. Seem more like a scam than an app.
